There has never been a better time than now to buy a smartphone. With more variety than ever, and more quality devices to boot, consumers can finally feel like they aren't "settling" when they can't snatch up an iPhone. Now, it looks like you'll be to pick up the Android darling of the year, the Samsung Galaxy S3 for cheap - incredibly cheap - if you can wait just a bit.

Retailer Sam's Club is going to be offering the Samsung Galaxy S3 for 96 cents on Black Friday. That's right, under a dollar. The Black Friday ad for Sam's Club shows that you can pick between a blue or white Galaxy S3 for 96 cents with a standard two-year contract beginning at 7 a.m. on Friday, November 23. If you've been wanting to pick up a Galaxy S3, but simply can't afford it, here's the best shot you'll get at what is essentially a free high-end smartphone. 

For those who aren't Sam's Club members, there's still plenty of good deals on the Samsung Galaxy S3. As of right now, you can pick up the 16GB Galaxy S3 for $99.99 through Amazon Wireless. This price only applies to AT&T and Sprint customers, and requires a two-year contract along with the purchase. Verizon customers can pick one up for $149.99 with a two-year contract. Not as great as the Sam's Club deal, but still better than paying the full $199.99 for the smartphone, and you can order one now without having to wait for Black Friday. 

Best Buy will be offering a great Galaxy S3 deal for Sprint users. Starting at 12 a.m. on Black Friday, Best Buy will be selling the Sprint Galaxy S3 for $48. That's a savings of $151.99. 

More deals are bound to pop up as the dates inch closer toward Black Friday, so keep an eye out. If these savings are any indication, there should be no excuse for upgrading to a better smartphone if you need one. Happy shopping.
